  • The apple id associated with my itunes is no longer good because that email address has been deleted what do i do to update the info

    the apple ID that is associated with my itunes is no longer valid because the email address has been deleted,how can i update my info without my old email and password?

    how is what blocked?  the email address? or apple ID... As for the ID, its not bocked but when i entre the password it says... " Your Apple ID has been diabled for security reasons. to enable your account, reset your password on appleid.apple.com" which i did, after i have entred the apple ID, it gives me two options to either change my password by sending it to my email acccount used, first time i clicked use email to reset pasword. i then went to msn to long into that email and msn says that this account has been blocked due to the password being entred to many times to activsate this clcik link beloew and so i did, it then took me the security queastion and the alternative email used within that account is completly different to what put in when i first made that account 2 years ago, the security question to that email is in portugues/ spanish and im neither, so clarely someone has hacked into that email and blocked it... and this why i cant change the password for my apple ID..

  • I need to retrieve an email that has been deleted from my computer and iCloud, please help.

    My mail preferences were set to delete on iCloud after 30 days. How can I get a copy of an email that has been deleted ? I have changed the settings to never  now but that didn't bring any back. Thank you.

    No, not unless you have the email somewhere else as well. It's kind of the same thing with my devices, I delete an iMessage but if I search it in search it pops up, but I can't access it.

  • I bought pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

    I bought Pages ages ago using an iTunes account that no longer works as the email address has been closed down. How can I now update my Pages app, if it asks me to sign in using this now defunct email address?

    All apps are always tied to the account from whaich they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
    Just because the e-mail account is shut down, has nothing to do with the itunes account. Why did you create a new account?  Why not just change the e-mail associated with the old account?

  • HT5312 I forgot the answers for my security questions, now I can't get into my AppleID. All because my rescue email address has been deactivated due to inactivity. Now what?

    Here is some bad luck.
    I forgot the answers for my security questions. I want to buy an app in the app store but Apple keeps asking me these questions I can't remember the answers to. All because my rescue email address has been deactivated due to inactivity. Now what?
    I tried to create my old email address again, but funny enough it told me that specific email address was already taken....

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated.

    As I said in the title, I forgot my security question answers and my rescue email address has been deactivated. Conveniently, you must enter your security questions to change your rescue email. The answers to the security questions are sent to the rescue email, so I am stuck. My only option seems to be to call Apple Support, which is my entire Friday off spent on an aggravating phone call. If anyone can give my an alternative route for fixing my problem, I am all ears.
    Please Help.

             have a Rescue Email to use this option.
         3. This is the only option if you do not already have a valid Rescue Email.

             Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Select
             the appropriate country and call. Ask to speak to the Account Security Team.
         4. Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an

             You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time
             convenient to you.

    I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

    Two different things
    If you forgot the password
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
    The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

    My email address has been verified, but my icloud account will not complete?

    I have the exact same problem, I even tried changing the password on my e-mail client. Still no luck. Sometimes it downloads the e-mails perfectly, and others, it keeps asking me for the password.
    I've had this problem since I downloaded the last updates to the system about 5 days ago.

  • How can I change my email address on my Itunes account if the old email address has been closed down?

    Hi, my brother is struggling to log in to his itunes account. He has been using an old email address but not actually logged into his email account for quite a while. All of a sudden he hasn't been able to sign in to itunes. He has been trying to change over the email address but it looks like the old email address account has been deleted. Any ideas he can go around this to change it over?

    Hello amy_c22,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand is that your brother no longer has access to the email being used for the Apple ID.  He will be able to change his Apple ID if you follow the instructions in the article below:

  • Ipad 2 email address has been linked to two different ipads

    OK so I had my first ipad 2, set it up yada yada... somehow it gets lost and sold. So I get a new one. I set the new one up with the same email account and everything. My mom then recieves a facetime call or whatever from an ipad with my email yet i was in the movie theatre!  Is it possible for the people who now have my 1st ipad to accidentally call my mom? I guess my question is can I delete my info from the 1st ipad without having it in hand? Will the wipe out method work eventhough the account belongs to 2 ipads now? I am SOOO very confused! Can someone help?

    Simply disable all incoming methods of iMessages other then your phone number.
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive at > You may be reached at > Unselect your email addresses.
    Now when your friends send you an iMessage they can only send it to your phone number.
